Lightning Strikes! Thundersnow!

About a week ago, I was in the Grove and it was a miserable night.  It had been raining for a while and due to the bad drainage problem on our street, there was a river of water about 2 feet wide I had to cross or jump over to get into my car.  I [...]

Six Words, No More, No Less – 6

Those of us in the Northeast are still in throes of winter, regardless that a lot of it has melted.  I know we can expect more snow, only hope it is a snow fall and not a storm or blizzard.  Looking forward to the last snow of the season because I think I’m going to [...]

Chronicles of a Snow Storm, er Blizzard – Day 3

Cabin fever reached a high point last night with my disgruntled spouse.  He wants to be back in NYC and that’s that.  So we decided he should really attempt to go home today by train.  He was hesitant to leave me here with a snow bound car and two cats but I’m adamant about not [...]

Continuing Chronicle of 2010 Blizzard

Last night I listened to  the wind howling and Peter complaining about the wind, the snow and life in general lol! The lamp on the porch was swinging precariously and it was too cold and too windy to go out and turn it off and besides our real concern was that it fall over and [...]

Chronicle of a Snow Storm

If you had to be marooned by a storm, this would be the place I’d like to be.  I’m happy in my little cottage sitting out the blizzard.  Not so with my spouse!  He is definitely an apartment dweller and feels vulnerable here.   Well he is partially true;  if the power goes out, he really [...]
